As the city prepares for the third and final week of celebrations, workers admit fatigue is becoming a factor. But members of the cleaning crews and alcohol distributors said it's the pride of doing their job that's getting them through the "Super Gras" fatigue.

With exactly one week to go, the city is rounding the final corner in its race to the finish line of a combined three-week party.

"I'm glad to be one of the people to say we delivered the Super Bowl," said New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas. "For us, it's only the third quarter. We got another quarter left that starts Wednesday night around 7 p.m."

New Orleans police worked 12-hour shifts during the Super Bowl with no days off, and they're in for more crowd control details before parade season comes to an end next week. Serpas applauded officers for going above and beyond during the Super Bowl, calling the department the best in the world at crowd control.

As the city enters the final stretch, some workers admit they are feeling the fatigue.

"I'd be lying if I said they (the street cleaning team members) weren't tired right now. That's why we're going to give them a couple days down right here," said Downtown Development District President and CEO Kurt Weigle.

The clean team has felt the pressure to wash and sweep streets downtown. During a normal week, the DDD employs 24 to 30 workers on several eight-hour shifts. For the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras, they're working 12-hour shifts.

"They're doing this job not just because it's a job, but because they love downtown and the city of New Orleans," Weigle said. "When you're working for something you love, you work harder for it, and you're willing to go that extra mile."

The DDD is bringing in additional workers for the parades this weekend. For example, at the Endymion parade on Saturday, there will be 85 people working, including temporary workers, who will clean the streets before and after parades.

And what's a party in New Orleans without drinks? The 40 delivery drivers with Crescent Crown Distributing have worked up to 15 percent more overtime throughout this time period and delivered about 20 percent more product, company officials said.

Nick Hazard, vice president of Crescent Crown Distributing, said, "We have a lot of special events here. We're going to continue to have special events, so for us it's just a matter of getting up the energy to do it each and every day. It's tough, but it's very rewarding too."

Hazard admitted fatigue is setting in for his team as well.

"They're tired, absolutely tired, but our guys are like a well-conditioned athlete," he said. "You're still tired in the fourth quarter, but you know to win the championship you have to get the job done and go out there and compete."

The goal is to pull off another win with the successful end of Carnival 2013.

A Justice Department civil rights investigation has concluded that the Ferguson Police Department and the city's municipal court engaged in a "pattern and practice" of discrimination against African Americans.
